Well the competition is almost over, and unlike last week where there was a crowd-pleasing kill fest, this week had a lack of effort in killing. Only 21 gladiators perished on the sands this week, but as 53 managers were able to connect, well it is understandable. Vic and The Master each had 2 kills, and now Vic is in 2nd with one week to go! Let us see if he can take the top spot!

This turn 21 gladiators littered the sand with gallons of blood. 19 died in regular matches. JAZZ of PRIMUS's stable AUTOBOTS (1835) elbow dropped COUNT EOLAIR of ILNEVAL's stable RIEKLAND REAVERS (255) in a 4 minute Blood Challenge. However, only 10 BCs were issued this turn--again we want more!

1 Challenge resulted in a kill as well. BURRISA of VIC VEGAS's stable FROM THE LEFT(771) challenged and defeated EXPOLITED EMILYof THE BADMAN's stable BORED AND BOOZED (1073). This half-orc will never grace the sands again, and we can be sure their will be no BC from that stable as the remaining gladiators are a bunch of newbie wimps. Well Exploited Emily almost made 200 fights...almost. That match will never be retaliated on!

Overall after 7 weeks we are sitting at 188 kills. In the lead is DEVIL (803) with 9 kills. VIC VEGAS (341) is in 2nd with 8. Tied for 3rd are VALIDIAN (209) RUBY (802) and COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF (817) with 7 apiece. 5 Managers have 6 kills, 3 have 5, 6 have 4 kills, 15 Managershave 3 kills, 10 have 2 kills apiece and finally we have 16 Managers with just one kill.
